Newark High, Quarry partner
Vulcan joins Adopt-A-School partnership with Newark Community High School
March 6, 2007 - Vulcan Materials Company Lisbon Quarry recently announced an Adopt-A-School partnership with Newark Community High School of Newark Community High School District #18.
The goal of the relationship is to enhance learning by helping students connect academia with real-world requirements for achieving a successful life and career. The Adopt-A-School program is another part of Vulcan's commitment to being a good corporate citizen.
"We are proud to be supporting the students at Newark High School," said Steve Novak, General Superintendent, South Region. "As a socially responsible employer, we are committed to strengthening our relationship within our community and improving the quality of life for students, teachers and parents."
Vulcan presented Newark with a grant for $1,500 that the school will put toward class materials and resources to enhance the learning experience for the entire student body.
In the past, Vulcan has offered a variety of programs as part of its Adopt-A-School initiative. Among them: career days, mentoring programs, accelerated reading programs, school clean-ups, judging math contests, providing school supplies and computers, improving athletic scoreboards, classroom presentations, and sponsoring field trips.
More importantly, students will have an opportunity to interact with successful role models from the business world and take an interest in learning beyond the classroom.
Adopt-A-School Partnership Agreement
Vulcan Materials Company, the leading producer of construction aggregates and related products in the United States, firmly believes that its excellent corporate citizenship, community relations and education outreach programs are a very important element of its business and social objectives.
Newark High School is an important educational institution in Newark Community High School District No. 18 and is totally committed to the educational development of the young people entrusted to it.
Vulcan Materials Company Lisbon Quarry and Newark High School join in this Adopt-A-School relationship to advance the objectives of each entity through mutual, supportive interaction. Vulcan believes that providing tours of its operation facilities, classroom presentations and lectures, and providing appropriate supplies and materials to Newark High School will significantly advance the overall education and development of the students. Newark High School believes the active support of Vulcan and its employees will provide a needed resource to the faculty and staff of Newark High School in meeting their objective in educating students, particularly in connecting academic learning with real world requirements for achieving a successful life and career.
We, as representatives of Vulcan Materials Company Lisbon Quarry, and Newark High School respectively, believe an active, mutually supportive partnership between our organizations will promote a better education of our young people, support both business and academic objectives, and foster enhanced community relations among all involved.
